Out of his depth, ridiculous statement as his first season showed. The only folk out of their depth were the no marks in club ties JDT had to deal with on a daily basis.

Get a few assists at Chesterfield this season and I definitely foresee a move to a Real Sociedad

Presumably Vinners’ standard distaste for the Walker family… which to be fair he’s bang on to have (not to the unhealthy level he has it, but still!)

Don’t call it a Tinpot league though, JBN, the Celtic crew on here get very upset!

Just checked me map, yep, Blackburn is east Lancs, cheers RTID!

It’s because he’s been part of pro football since being about 8 years old, he’d have been surrounded by pros at the club all saying that. If he’d just been a fan with his Grandad I doubt he would… still should though, just sounds wrong with an east Lancs accent.

Course not, and that’s exactly what they want. Same will be for the rest of the club when the academy, the training ground, the Riverside ‘isn’t viable for a League 2 club with small crowds and income’. The women’s team is the canary in the coal mine.

‘Can you fulfil your 38/46 games?’ ‘You can? Great, crack on then’. That’s the only regulating the governing bodies fixture organisers of English football do.

And that’s fine as they would work their way up the Nations League groups accordingly. However, open qualification groups are no longer fit for purpose post the proliferation of ‘new’ and micro-states as UEFA members these past twenty years or so.

San Marino will never be anything but a mismatch, adds absolutely no value for them to be playing top tier nations again and again.

Exactly, there’s a reason Chorley and Liverpool don’t enter the FA Cup at the same stage.

The qualifiers are a waste of time and tell you very little, good or bad. Full of mismatches and 11 players camped in their own box. Scrap them, sort out qualification through the Nations League and play offs and give the actual season some time back.

“ITs A cITy cLUb ThO!”

Come on Rev, don’t start slipping back into your old ways now. Occam’s Razor. There is no pro women’s team here because the owners don’t want to fund a pro women’s team.

Oh boo hoo. One of their longest PL stretches in decades, team full of internationals, 60,000 gates every week and recently won a European trophy 🎻

I suppose from the regime’s perspective he has been an excellent appointment.

I’m asking if he still thinks he’s an ‘excellent appointment’ like he said last year, if that’s ok with you?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g2x0pzvd4o Apologies if on another thread somewhere.

Like Rudy was, Parson?

A Sky game when we’ve struggled to sell 9,000 STs, with a relatively small away following too at £30-£35 (£32 to £37 in the ticket office) a pop. I doubt it will be any higher than a standard Saturday game, I.e vast swathes of empty seats. Well done all. 👏

Fifteen years and they still don’t have a clue about the fanbase. It’s on TV, at half 12, so Derby won’t be fetching many, so no sizeable away support to fleece (the usual reason for Cat A) and why would our fans go out their way at those prices to just see a one off kit and Kevin Gallacher et al wandering round the pitch at 12.15? The only chance of a semi decent crowd was a ticket promotion. Hey ho, another embarrassing afternoon incoming.

Getting the band back together. Ben Marshall as events planner? Jason Lowe as ‘covering every blade of grass’ coach?

Forget about one off boycotts and all that, won’t happen here. What will happen is gates will continue to drop year on year as we fall down the leagues. Thats your protest right there - but this lot do not care one iota. They’ll just shut the ‘unviable’ academy, the ‘not fit for purpose’ training ground, the ‘surplus’ Riverside and on and on.

This club, gone from letting every fecker walk for nowt to selling the lot… how about some middle ground, like, you know, trying to actually get one of them to sign a deal, novel idea, obviously.

Even the LT comments, must be bad if the bots have turned… https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/comments/25433235/
